Since I am talking about dogs I will rant about something. I may offend some of my readers but you do come here for my opinions so please bear with me.
I can't stand it when people dress up their dog or cat and say that the poor animal enjoys it. I am not talking about play dressing it up. I am talking about dog wardrobes, turtle necks, polo shirts, and sunglasses. Dogs don't need a wardrobe. They have a thing called FUR that keeps them warm. I will admit that some dogs may need a coat if they live in cold weather with short hair. But a wardrobe! Come on! I get a magazine that has any thing from dog pj's to evening dresses. It makes me laugh. But I feel sorry for any dog that had to wear pj's!

I think people dress up their dogs because they see them as substitute children. But I agree with you. The dog certainly does NOT enjoy it. None of my dogs has ever had so much as a t-shirt on, and they never will.
Becky: Yes I was going to rant about that but decided not to!
Chandler has a dog jacket to wear when it is really cold. His hair is so short he needs it, Poor thing! I am not sure if he likes it or not. But he is thankful to have it on when it is cold!
Jenn: Thank you!
Yeah, clothes on dogs is just plain stupid, other than the aforementioned doggie cold-weather gear. But, that said, I lived in some pretty cold country with lotsa snow, and my dogs survived without doggie overcoats. Then (yet) again, they were basically inside dogs to begin with.
Buck: Normally I would agree with you, but Chandler has such short hair. He has NO hair on his belly. His hair is not even a half of a inch long! But Xena has longer hair and does not need a jacket. Chandler and Xena are both inside dogs. And know it too!
Ranger has a jacket, but he hates it. He really needs a lifejacket for kayaking, but they are so expensive.
